Fantastic! Congratulations!! What a great story. I think the most important point is that you need to face your debt and set a goal to pay it off. Then you need to do everything you can to accomplish the goal. Maybe the thing with your son's shoes was a little over the top, but most people aren't making nearly the cutbacks and sacrifices that they could be making to pay off their debt quicker.
Now you can start saving and investing for the future. Keep living lean (though not quite that lean) and you will do great.
